Take a mental health break, day to day, or even hour to hour. As our energy levels change, it's essential to take a moment to reflect. Give yourself permission to pause to find balance. With gratitude, meet yourself where you are today. Inhale nourishment and exhale tension.

Hi,

Everyone.

Thanks for joining me for another meditation.

Today,

I'll be leading you through a mental health break meditation.

This year,

We've been experiencing a lot of changes that are continuing to contribute to our stress and uncertainty.

It's essential that we pause to soothe and reflect.

And this quality time that we spend on ourselves will energize us so that we can be there for others and feel revitalized.

Day to day or even hour to hour,

Our energy levels may change.

Use this time as a moment to regroup and find balance with your breath.

Finding a comfortable seat or maybe you're laying down.

Your eyes can be closed or soft.

Palms face up to receive,

Palms face down for more grounding.

Take a deep breath and turn inward.

And exhale,

Letting your shoulders fall away from your ears,

The space between your brows to soften.

Take note of any feelings that are coming up for you and what you might need.

From the top of your inhale to the bottom of your exhale,

Meet yourself where you are today.

Continuing to focus on the nourishment of your breath,

Imagining your body filling up with revitalizing,

Balancing energy on the inhale and releasing anything you don't want today on the exhale.

Meet yourself where you are today in your breath.

If you find yourself wandering,

Gently guide yourself back to your recenter and breathe in through your nose and out your mouth.

Continuing this inhale and exhale of nourishment,

Knowing that it is filling you up.

It's recentering you and you're finding balance.

I invite you to place one hand on your heart and one hand on your stomach,

Grounding yourself in this moment.

Feeling your breath move through your body.

Maybe you're feeling your belly rise and fall with your breath.

Again,

Checking in,

Taking note of your feelings or any needs that are coming up for you right now.

Maybe you need to stay with your breath a little bit longer.

Maybe you need to go on a walk or close your eyes for 10 minutes.

Meet yourself where you are today.

Pausing in this moment with gratitude,

Sending gratitude to your mind,

Body and your soul.

Thanking yourself for being compassionate with where you are today and giving yourself this space,

This quality time to reset and renew.

You can stay here as long as you'd like,

But if you're ready to be guided out,

Maybe start wiggling your fingers and toes,

Rocking your head side to side.

Taking a deep breath into your belly,

Exhaling out your mouth,

Bringing your hands to heart center,

Holding in this gratitude,

Pausing in this moment.

Allow yourself to return back to the room.

Thanks so much for joining me today.

Namaste.
